CHAPTER ONE:

"Every passing day the planet gets worse..." Kaoru whispered to himself. He was becoming awfully lonely. The Akuma attacked about a few months back and didn't stop until no one was left. It was amazing that he was still living. Kaoru didn't even know how he managed it.

He looked down and noticed another body that was tore limb-by-limb. He winced. That looked painful.

He plucked a feather from the Tenshi's wing and put it in his side bag.

He had the original attire of a Tenshi. A pure white gown that somehow never got dirty with some golden. Jewels. He had a golden waist band that framed his body nicely with big earrings that seemed to look like the color of his amber eyes.

He had a few thick bracelets that seemed like armbands to a genie. It went halfway up his arm. In the middle of his wrist and elbow. It was designed to look like a bunch of bracelets in one, making it seem like a slinky that didn't have bounce and it was practically molded to his arm. It looked like it was SUPPOSED to be there.

He also had a nice necklace with that same design like pattern. He was covered in gold jewels. Even his white slippers had an outline of gold. Not that you could see them from the fabric of the long skirt.

He also had a headpiece. It, like everything else, was a gold color that curled in the opposite way of each other at the middle of his forehead, placing a nice white colored gemstone in the middle.

Kaoru's messy red hair seemed to contrast with all of the gold and white. His bag on the other hand was a light blue with some gold trimmings. Every fallen angel he passed, he took a feather. He had about 50 right now. He took the smaller feathers though. He wanted a piece of the Tenshi wherever he was brought to.

"Kao-Kao!" He heard a familiar voice call out excitedly and turned to be met with a pink bunny.

"Usa-chan?" He blinked and knelt down to the overly happy bunny rabbit that jumped into his arms trembling.

It wasn't HIS rabbit, but his mom's who died just a few days ago. He hadn't seen Usa-chan since then. He was thankful he had SOMEONE to talk to.

The bunny itself even had cute little white angel wings. They didn't do much, Usa was still a baby, but he would get VERY big, like a horse with wings that would be nearly the size of a grown Tenshi's.

"It's good to see you Usa-chan." Kaoru chuckled as he pet the rabbit.

"It's good to see you too Kao-Kao! I thought I was all alone!" Usa said happily and Kaoru kissed the rabbit tenderly on the top of the head, noting that he would be ok.

"No. I'll be here to protect you." He said softly as they walked into the cold abandoned town.

Usa's ears twitched as he looked in several directions. Kaoru halted.

"Something wrong Usa-chan?" He asked and he looked up at the man and blinked.

"No. I thought I sensed something but whatever it is, it's gone now." Usa said and he nodded and continued walking on the old brick street. It never looked so pitiful like it did now.

They walked into the store, which had been broken opened. There really wasn't anything wrong with anything in the store but Kaoru and Usa was still cautious. Kaoru was hungry, so was Usa so Kaoru decided that they could get something here.

Usa jumped out of his arms and hopped over to the vegetable section which wasn't to far from where Kaoru was standing.

Kaoru just simply grabbed an apple and examined it for bruises. He didn't like his fruits to be bruised.

He ate it contently as Usa nibbled on a carrot. Kaoru sat down on the conveyor belt that used to be used for the transportation of the groceries to the scanner. Usa happily ate his carrots and Kaoru sighed. He wondered how long they'd be alone for. How much longer did they have until the Akuma found them there?

He didn't dwell on that to much now though. He was pretty content with eating his apple. The juices flowed down his dry throat with each bite. The apple was very juicy and those were his favorite kinds of apples.

When he was done he threw it behind him. He really didn't know what else to do and Usa hopped into his arms again.

Kaoru and Usa left the freshly rundown supermarket and headed to a place that they normally would have called home if it weren't for these circumstances.

The bottom of Kaoru's skirt seemed to get some dust on it but with the small winds that passed, it flowed off as if it was repellant to it.

He stretched out his wings because they felt cramped and then he slouched a bit.

"I'm tired. How about you Usa?" He looked down at the rabbit whom nodded in response and Kaoru rubbed his eyes as he walked into a door.

"Good because we're going to sleep. I'm tired as can be." He murmured as they walked into Kaoru's old room.

"Home sweet home." He said with a sigh and sat down on the floor and examined everything around him. Sure it was messy because of the Akuma but it was better than nothing at all.

With that he laid on the bed with his wings draped over him like a blanket and Usa curled up next to him, liking the fondness of warmth. Being how the poor bunny was alone for days. He wasn't willing to let anyone go just yet. He wanted Kaoru to be with him when he woke up so cuddled up to Kaoru.

~** **~

"Wake up." Usa said while shaking Kaoru.

"What Us--" Kaoru was greeted with a stare from an Akuma.

This one had red hair that was messily pulled back. His stare was cold and his arms were crossed. He had on an original Akuma suit. Meaning, a black fleece long sleeved shirt with black slacks. His eyes were red and he had fangs. Akuma wings were smaller and more bat like and his piercing stare made Kaoru gulp.

"Hi. I'm Ritsu Kasanoda!" He said and bowed. Kaoru raised his eyebrow.

"Hello... I'm Kaoru." He said kind of confused.

"Usa-chan. Usa-chan!" The pink rabbit introduced happily.

"You don't seem harmful." Kaoru said examining the tough exterior of the man before him. His face looked like he could kill in an instant with the perfectly slender sword that stayed on his back. "But us Tenshi know."

"I... Don't want to hurt you really. That's why I'm afraid I have to take you to my planet..." He said and looked away. "If I don't, King Ootori will throw a fit. He could smell the Tenshi on me."

"..." Kaoru smirked. "What if you say, I got away?" I asked and he gulped.

"Then that means hundreds of soldiers more brutal than I will come to kill you." He said and I blinked and looked at Usa-chan.

"W... What's going to happen to me?" I asked and he looked at me for a minute and took a step closer.

"Hikaru?" He looked shocked.

"No. My name is Kaoru!" I said and looked at him. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked and he averted his gaze.

"No reason... It depends on what the king wants you for." He said and Kaoru looked down, knowing he wouldn't get out of this. Ritsu sighed.

"I'm sorry." He said softly and Kaoru shrugged.

"It's... fine. Really." He said and Ritsu grabbed Kaoru's arm. Kaoru's free hand held Usa-chan tightly as a fire started in a perfect circle around them. Then suddenly the flames engulfed them and they were standing in front of the most morbidly dreary building Kaoru has ever seen in his entire life.

He was the only one in white for MILES. Maybe the only one at all!

The clothes to the simpletons were cloaks, trench coats and stuff of that intimidating nature.

"We're here. Remember, don't look at the lord in the eyes, keep your gaze AWAY from him. It's the only way to assure yourself that you won't turn into stone." Ritsu said and Kaoru looked at him confused.

"He's Medusa?" He asked and Ritsu smirked and put his arm on Kaoru's shoulder.

"No. He's a hella a lot scarier. You will refer to him as 'King Ootori' and sometimes he'll wear sunglasses. His eyes could kill you, that's not even over exaggerating.." Ritsu whispered as they walked into the damp, moldy castle.

"Ah, Ritsu. I see you have found the last Tenshi." The deep voice droned and Kaoru began to shake lightly.

"Hai. King Yoshio Ootori." Ritsu bowed a few times and the king snapped his fingers and Ritsu looked at Kaoru once more before scurrying out.

"You're probably very good with...." He trailed off and paused. He motioned for Kaoru to come closer, Kaoru did as instructed, not wanting to be slaughtered by the king.

"Hikaru?" He asked and Kaoru shook his head.

"No sire. My name is Kaoru." He introduced with a bow. His wings slightly expanded giving the king a smirk. Usa-chan cowered in the man's gaze and no sooner later did a younger man walk in. This one had dark black hair with red eyes and glasses. He looked cold and completely emotionless.

"Yes, father." He said sternly and the king pointed to Kaoru.

"Tell me, Kyoya. Who does this Tenshi remind you of?" Yoshio asked and Kyoya eyed the man before him.

"It looks like Hikaru, father." He replied instantaneously.

It? He's resorting to calling me an IT?!

Kaoru though angrily and Usa clutched him tightly.

"Calm." Kaoru whispered as he placed his hand on Usa and it glowed yellow and Usa stopped trembling.

"Interesting..." Yoshio chuckled, his legs crossing on his throne.

Kaoru was just now looking around the place. It sure wasn't somewhere to have a party. It looks more depressing than the outside even.

"Take him to the dungeons. Renge should be down to... talk to him." Yoshio smirked showing his row of sharp teeth and Kyoya nodded and grabbed the younger male's hand and led him out of the room and down a dark hallway. Everything looked scary in the castle.

Kaoru examined the prince's wings. They were only slightly more extravagant than Ritsu's but maybe it's on ranking or skill.

"Here." Kyoya said coldly and pointed to a door, then opened it and shoved the Tenshi inside and locked it.

Someone was in a bad mood.
